All-India RTC clearing price increased 8% to 11-day high of Rs 3.50/kWh as gap between demand and supply fell sharply. The ratio of demand to sell was just 1.11 which led to an increase in maximum clearing price. Additionally, sales by Teesta Urja declined by 30% adding buoyancy to the minimum clearing price.
